The next morning the 4 children woke their parents up by
jumping onto the bed and in one case, his father.
"BERYL!" Ron exclaimed.
"Yay!" a chorus of happy cries came from the backseat of the Weasley
family car as they drove up to the Leaky Cauldron. The family all piled out of
the car and quickly found their way into Diagon Alley and to the Weasley twin's
Shop.
"Well, hello there!" Fred and George greeted their nieces and nephew.
"Would you scamps like to try our newest candy?"
"Yea!!"
"BEFORE you give it to them," Ron bellowed, "What is it?"
"Uhmmm..,a secret?"
"I don't trust that response, somehow. We don't need any more reversed
ages or sexes...or even species...or anything else you can come up with!"
"O ok...they're supposed to make the consumer grow an extra body part of
some sort…it disappears after a few minutes, promise!"
"Ok…" Ron conceded, much to his children's delight.
After everyone had eaten a piece (Fred and George too, for 'Good advertising' and
Hermione and Ron, who the twins persuaded with the help of the 4 kids)
there was an assortment of tails and wings and horns sprouting from each
person. Poor Ron had the worst one, however, an elephant's trunk!
Suddenly, a woman burst into the room. "Fred! Where's the candy that I'm
supposed to be putting on the shelves?"
"It's not here yet, Tricia! Hey, come meet my brother and his
family!"
"O. Ok."
As she came over to them, Celeste tugged at her uncle's pants.
"Mummy was telling us how you played tricks on Uncle Harry's Aunt and
Uncle and cousin. Could you tell us more?"
"Please?" Mackenzie added.
"Huh?" George looked at Hermione strangely.
"That summer...a dog, a girl and a baby?" Hermione reminded him.
"O! O I guess so, where'd she leave off?"
"Where you were asking Uncle Harry what he wanted to do for the
summer," Beryl and Shirley replied in unison.
"Ok, well, your Uncle Fred had spilled our candy sack and the three of us were cleaning it up...
The door opened up just has the three of them had finished cleaning up the
spilled candies. Virginia
had returned...
"You guys do know that we were calling Uncle Harry's uncle Virginia?"
"Yea," Shirley said.
"Ok, good, well Virginia returned with Dudley and...
The boy/dog ran over wagging his tail when he smelled all the candies in Fred's
sack.
"O you want a candy do you?" Fred smirked at the dog. "Haha. I'll just have to leave some with Harry here and
he can give them to you!"
Fred handed Harry the candy sack, and apparated out of there. George, laughing,
followed suit," Good luck Harry!"
POP! The two of them were gone and Harry and Virginia were alone with a baby
and a dog. Of course, due to the loud pop, baby petunia started to wail again. Virginia charged up the
stairs, and Harry followed. What he didn't expect to see was Virginia already holding Petunia in her
arms. "That is Uncle Vernon, under a spell, Harry!" he mumbled to
himself. But the surprises weren't over. Virginia
started to feed Petunia, but not with a bottle. Harry decided it was time for
him to leave the room; he did not want to be around while his UNCLE acted like
he was his wife's MOTHER and was feeding her in that fashion.
That's when Harry and his
silver-eyed girlfriend walked into the shop.
"Ooo Hi Aunt Aimee!" Celeste said.
"You know I'm not your aunt," Aimee said, laughing.
"Uncle George is telling use bout when he turned your uncle into a girl,
Uncle Harry!" Beryl said.
"What?!" Aimee asked.
"Uhmm. Well, it wasn't my fault!"
"Oh my word, do tell me!"
"Ok, I guess, where are you four at?"
Uncle Virginia
is feeding Aunt Baby!"
"Oh. Oh boy, well, I saw him, err, her feeding baby Petunia, so I left the
room...
Harry went downstairs to make dinner for the strange group. He filled the newly
conjured dog bowl with dog food and set it by the table for Dudley.
Then, he made a rather healthy meal for himself and Virginia. He had decided
that if Virginia
was going to feed Petunia like that, that she had better actually eat healthily
for once. He whipped up a meal of Ham and pineapples, baked potatoes, peas,
mixed fruits, and some buttered bread. He put milk at both places and went up
to tell Virginia
that food was ready.
Whistling for Dudley, he put a high chair at
the table then sat and waited patiently for them to join.
Virginia came down the stairs carrying
Petunia. "Come on Dudley, she told the
whimpering dog. Whether you are supposed to be a dog or not, you have to
eat."
She sat down at the table, and Harry got up to get the food from the pans.
"Oh no! Vegetables? I'm
not eating them!"
Vernon showed
through with that out burst. "Yes you are," Harry said,
"Especially if you continue to feed Petunia!"
Virginia
looked at Harry and went to slap him, but this time Harry caught her hand.
"Uncle Vernon, I do believe this time I am in charge of the situation. Now
sit down and eat. All of your food."
Virginia
turned bright red and conceded.
"Go Uncle Harry!" Mackenzie exclaimed.
"Thank you, Mackenzie."
"Interesting, Harry." Aimee gave him a very funny look.
"I didn't know you had this side!"
Harry turned bright red.
"Shortly after we finished dinner, we went upstairs to get ready for bed...
After Harry had made Virginia
help with the dishes they went upstairs to get ready for bed. Virginia
changed Petunia's diaper while Harry Let Dudley
out for a few minutes. Then Harry went to brush his teeth and do the other
things one does before going to bed. He went back downstairs to let Dudley back in. Then he went to his room. What he didn't
expect to find was Virginia
in one of Petunia's skimpy nightgowns in his room.
"What are you doing in here!?"
"Well," Virginia said, looking at him slyly, "If you're going to
try to act like the man of the house, you better be ready to be baby Petunia's
father if I'm to be her mother till this is fixed. So you have to put up with
me!"
Harry groaned, but since it did seem like he was partly to blame, he didn't
fight it. As long as his Uncle didn't try anything...
"You slept with your
UNCLE?! Harry, I don't know," Aimee said between fits of laughter.
Harry blushed bright red.
About that time, though the children, Hermione, Ron and the twins extra body
parts disappeared and Ron was able to speak again.
"Yes he did, Aimee, but you haven't heard half of it! You see, Virginia became more
girly as the days went by!"
Harry turned even redder, "Let's go, Aimee," he mumbled.
"Nah, I want to hear this! Ron, please continue," Aimee replied,
laughing.
Harry blushed even redder, if that was even possible.
"The next morning, Petunia woke the two of them up, crying...
"WAHHHHHHHH!" baby Petunia was crying. Harry and Virginia woke with a
start.
Having a temporary memory failure, Harry and Vernon looked at each other quizzically then
both remembering the day's events at about the same time, they hopped out of
bed.
Virginia went to pacify Petunia while Harry
went to let Dudley outside. Harry went backup
the stairs to talk to his uncle.
He walked into the room to find Virginia
nursing again. He blushed but quickly got over it because what needed to be
done needed to be done.
"Virginia,
I believe we need to go to the market. I can't go calling Fred and George every
day and they didn't conjure much for you, Petunia or Dudley in your present
states. Since I am still a student, I can't conjure the needed objects."
Virginia
looked up at him. "I guess your right, but what's our cover story?
Meaning that many people might recognize you. Do you
really want people to think that this baby is your child?"
"Hmm, no. I'll think about it while I make us breakfast."
Of course, though Harry didn't realize it, Fred and George were still watching
him...
Harry
was in the kitchen when Fred appeared next to him. "So you need a disguise
so you can go into town, do you?"
"Yea...Hey wait, when'd you get here?"
"Just now. Now let me see," Fred replied. "I think this candy
should solve your problem!"
"Fred what is it?"
"O, it's just a candy that will change your appearance; make you look a
little different is all."
Harry looked at the innocent face that meant there might be trouble.
"And the catch? How long does it last?"
"O, it should wear of the same day as the other ones. In fact all the
candies are set to expire the last day of August. And the one thing to never
fail (for the most part) is our candy timers."
Harry decided to trust Fred, after all, he didn't want to be recognized or
thought of as a teen father. He popped the piece of candy into his mouth. Well,
at least it tasted good.
"O, by the way, it makes you about ten years older...so you'll be
twenty-six in a minute. Which is about right, since your girl-izized youthened
uncle is presently twenty-four!"
"Fine time to tell me!" Harry told Fred, his voice changing as he
spoke.
Turning around to look into the hall mirror that a two inch Virginia had first seen herself in the day
before, Harry watched as his unruly black hair lightened to almost blonde and
smoothed out. The scar on his forehead shrank into his skin and his green eyes
turned blue. Suddenly, he didn't need his glasses and he slowly grew a little
more muscular and taller.
That's when Virginia
came down with the baby.
"Hello, Virginia,
Meet Harold, Your new spouse!" Fred exclaimed with a glint in his eyes.
Boy did he love to cause trouble! The two of them looked at him wide eyed as he
handed them two rings.
"If you're going to play the part, you must look the part!" Fred said
laughing as he let Dudley into the house. The
poor boy looked at his "father" and "mother" then at Harry
and the rings that the two of them were holding. He seemed to be laughing at
the two of them.
"Oh boy, Harry, you really
got into this, didn't you?" Aimee asked laughing.
"Aimee, that's not it. You see, "Harold" brought "Virginia" to Diagon
Alley where Ron and I were purchasing things for our trip. My parents had
invited the Weasleys to join them on a trip that summer for their hospitality
earlier during the year, so we were getting supplies. Harry's uncle wouldn't
let him go, so we didn't expect to see "him", but I guess we sort of
didn't!" Hermione stated....
About an hour later, Harold and Virginia walked through the Leaky Cauldron to
Diagon Alley, with Petunia in Virginia's arms
and Dudley on a leash that Harold was holding.
"Let's start with getting you two some clothes," Harold said.
While in the store, they ran into Hermione and Ron.
"Hermione! Ron!" Harry called to his friends.
Of course they didn't recognize him. But George came to the rescue. Coming up
behind Ron and Hermione, he said, "Don't you two recognize your dear
friend, Harry?"
"HARRY?!" Hermione exclaimed.
Harry blushed and nodded as George said, "Actually, Harold. Harold and Virginia and
Petunia...what's your last name Harold?"
"Uhmm…Evans," he responded. He didn't know why he picked his mother's
name, but it was the first thing he thought of.
"Are you serious?" Ron wanted to know.
"Yes, but at the fault of your twin brothers."
"You're lucky then, that they're staying behind so they don't have to
close their shop!"
"Yea, I guess."
Shortly after this encounter they were walking over too the Leaky Cauldron. Ron
reported that he and Hermione were supposed to be meeting his and Hermione's
parents there for lunch. Harold decided that it was probably time to feed his
"new" family too, so gathered them up and followed.
"Speaking of lunch," Harry interrupted the story,
"Isn't it time to go get some? We can finish the story later."
"Ok!" the four children exclaimed.
